Mega-fun and mega-watt: Ankapark amusement park produces record volume of solar power on the roof of its parking facility.

The solar carport of the Ankapark: Shady parking spaces under a solar power plant with an output of over 10 megawatts.
In the heart of Turkey, in the capital city of Ankara, over six years of construction work has resulted in one of the largest amusement parks in the world. With a total area of 120 hectares, the Ankapark joins the top ten alongside the large parks belonging to Disney and Universal. And it offers everything needed for such a big park: differently themed areas such as a prehistoric world with life-size dinosaurs and no less than 17 roller coasters – more than any other park in Asia.
Another superlative is encountered by visitors before they even enter the park itself: the world's largest solar carport provides a shady parking facility. With a capacity of 10.2 megawatts, the system provides so much environmentally friendly solar power that it could cover roughly the annual needs of local private households.
More than 200 inverters from Germany
The inverters for the solar car park come from German PV specialist, KACO new energy. As a partner of Agon Enerji, the company responsible for the planning and execution of the PV installation, KACO new energy supplied 196 blueplanet 50.0 TL3 inverters and ten Powador 60.0 TL3 inverters.
Nedret Ünlü, Country Manager of the Turkish branch office of KACO new energy: "The Ankapark project is a great opportunity for us to consolidate our position and raise our profile in the Turkish marketplace. Agon Enerji chose KACO new energy inverters for their reliability and high efficiency levels."
Smaller PV installations on the rise
"In 2017, the Turkish PV market reached a landmark high. It is not just large facilities such as the Ankapark that offer significant opportunities for us, as the situation in the Turkish housing market is also very promising", Ünlü continues. "We expect strong growth and demand for our inverters this year as our customers are able to choose from a wide range of products".
